max velocity channel had someone report 215 mph winds at 600 feet. there's a video that shows just a constant spinning of individual vortices (i counted 9) . when the trees look like a lawn mower hit, it's never a weak one.

@@sicfrynutyeah was that a multivortex? It sure looked like it

@@utguy381 EF5 doesn’t seem likely to my eyes at this point since there is quite a bit of debris left behind. For it to ve EF5 it has to be really clean.

@@sicfrynut also debris was thrown 40K feet into the air. One of the more stronger tornados ever recorded.

That is the most horrific tornado. I can’t imagine what you all went through. I saw footage and it left me speechless

I live in Springfield, Mo, and this reminds me of the Joplin tornado.

@@timburks3806 Yes. Joplin’s was an E5 and this one in Iowa was an E4/E5, so just as powerful and devastating, but fortunately a smaller area.

It's not about your town it's about Greenfield who suffered, not about you and what happened in 2011. I know you want upvotes and are trying to get attention but take your trolling somewhere else.

@@user-ws4dw8kh3q Seriously?! That never even crossed my mind. Empathy. That’s what crossed my mind.

Well said

I’ve driven through the remains of a city after a F4 hit the day after Christmas in Texas. It forever changed me and my view of safety in storms.

🤔😂 the only laugh I got out of all This , thanks !

During intense segments, Trimmer yells the oddest things. I'm not quite sure if it's a mild form of noncursing Tourettes or for theatrical like effect. I tend towards the latter. *He captures amazing video though.

He not ought do that.stuck ups needn't curse

Super. God saved her but wrecked all her neighbor's house and the entire city and killed several people. You better pray every day about an hour a day to make sure that God doesn't send a tornado down on you. He's obviously smiting the states for their support of trump. I know this because Jesus told me

Amen... there's no substitute for the strength, peace and hope that can only be found in our Lord and Savior.

She didn't even know whom she was praying to ? Lord and God are just Titles God's name is YHWH and it's pronounced Yahweh in Hebrew and translated into English language is at Exodus 6 : 3 and Psalms 83 :18 God's Son's name is Yeshua and translated into English language is Jesus

@@jimthomas1989 May the Holy Spirit guide her to the truth in Jesus as Lord. That's exactly what happened to me 5 years ago when I was taken out of hopeless addiction and into the strength, peace and hope that we can only find through Jesus.

She experienced Romans 10:13 right there.

Thankfully a narrow path to it.

It’s gonna get a high rating, that’s obvious. But that big thing is how devastating this is for Greenfield.

Yeah, it's called a tornado.

Exactly !

Nope, EF4. We don’t know how well the house was anchored

don’t rate something until official nws tornado raters officially come and say what. they have many damage indicators that tell them what it could be

F-6 ? 🤷‍♂️

​EF4

the one house was gone with just the basement and rubble. i mean, the news teams tell you to get to your basement but what the heck do you do when this happens ?

Maybe even the first EF5 since 2013.

EF4

@@sicfrynut What do you expect when you're taking cover in a basement? Of course things are going to fall on you, that's why they tell people to use a mattress or something to cover themselves up while in a basement if there's a tornado.

A tornado is an "act of god". I'll try my luck with Satan. At least Satan wants me to have a good life here on Earth. Hail Satan!

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😢😢❤O h!!!!!😮😢 my!!!!! I'm from Idaho Falls Idaho and when I!! See soooo m u c h sadness injuries ,I say PRAYERS to Alllllĺ❤❤ the folkes and animals I am, a retired Nurse of 25 yrs!!! Wish I could help somehow😢😮❤ I think of Youuu allllllll😊❤

You're praying for YOU. It does nobody else a lick of good. Send money if you want to help.

If HE cared, tornados wouldn't happen. That simple. HE controls all. HE allows this to happen and then people thank HIM for it. Absolutely insane.

Um...a tornado is an "act of god". Why does nobody ever blame god? Stockholm much?

@timjefferson2137 God is sovereign over nature. He rules the wind, the waves, the thunder, the lightening, and the tornadoes. He has and always will have a purpose for these things. And it isn't for you or I to know or understand why. Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. (Psalm 135:6-7) He is sovereign over all things only for GOOD. Again, we don't need to know why, we just need to know HIM.

@@amberd2976 In that case, thank god people were killed in this storm? That's pretty effed up. Your phony god would not be worthy of admiration, even if it were real, which it most likely isn't.

Basements are the only safe place in a tornado. Whatever happened above them, you don't want your body subjected to that kind of debris field. They may have been buried but they're alive.

Just because the footage shows a basement filled with house debris doesn’t mean every home in Greenfield was built with a shoddy subfloor.

@@derrickrr5516 Where are the floor joists? They flew away??

@@jesseback3536 Tornado just ripped them out of the concrete they were screwed/bolted/nailed to. To have a house survive something like this, you need reinforced concrete walls and ceilings.

The basements were a lot better than no basement. However, I'd still say "poor construction": The outside walls and 1st floor floor truss should be tied to the foundation (bottom of basement walls if said basement walls are simple block & mortar).

Just as it's been since since humans first existed. Anyone who relies on government to save them is a fool.

Hopefully it won't suck you out of the basement as well. Maybe hold on to the water heater or piping?

@@jesseback3536Probably warrants getting a deep underground bunker with multiple exits and tools to bulldoze your way out afterwards. Actually there’s nothing that can compare to the protection that Jesus can give.

That is what insurance is for.

@@virgilhilts3924 Will insurance cover deductibles in this case, or do those people have to pay? All you people go on about is insurance, insurance. Insurance costs money, and on top you have to pay deductibles and then still have to wait. Their homes aren't going to be rebuilt anytime soon(if they will be rebuilt) and they are going to need to stay somewhere in the meantime.

@@haniotis3421 "Will insurance cover deductibles in this case" -Since when does insurance cover a deductible? -Do you even understand how insurance works? "All you people go on about is insurance, insurance" -Yes and...? "Insurance costs money" -Since when is it free? "and on top you have to pay deductibles" -Yes and...? "and then still have to wait" -Of course it takes time for inspectors to come out, paperwork to be completed and processed... What about it? "Their homes aren't going to be rebuilt anytime soon" -Who said they would be? "they are going to need to stay somewhere in the meantime" -Yes and...?

@@virgilhilts3924 Of course I know how insurance works, you fool. She has to pay for her deductible, but I'm saying it's not fair that SHE has to pay. The government should be paying every penny for that home. Her whole home got destroyed. It's not her fault. This damage was not done by her, it was done by the environment. So, who charges her for the work that she does so she can pay for her insurance and her home? Why, the federal and state governments, that's who! THEY are responsible! They are supposed to keep us safe with that money we give them, and we can't even sit in our homes in peace without it getting destroyed! Who's land and air space is it? It's America's air space! SO AMERICA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! And before you start saying they are not responsible, I need to remind you of the trillions of our dollars these morons have spent on wars instead of coming up with a solution to tornadoes, disasters, etc. There are ways, there are ways...they are researching but they supposedly don't have a solution yet.

It is on track to be quite average

​@@virgilhilts3924 Get this nonsense out of here. It's more than double the average count with far more intensity.

@@joshramirez7 The experts (and facts) say otherwise. But feel free to prove your assertion...

You think a brick home is safe if hit by a tornado? 😆😅😂🤣
